With diligence and preventative maintenance, you can ensure that your Audi S6 brake rotors last for a long time. Your S6 brake rotors are part of your car's disc braking system. In fact, Audi S6 brake rotors are sometimes referred to as brake discs.

The S6 brake rotors are metal discs that are mounted in the channel of your U-shaped brake calipers. Audi S6 brake rotors spin along with your wheels.

When you depress your brake pedal, your brake calipers act as hydraulic clamps to hold the brake pads mounted on them against the S6 brake rotors. The lining of your brake pads generates friction as the Audi S6 brake rotors spin against them; causing the rotational motion of your wheels to stop and your car to come to a safe, complete halt. The spinning motion of the S6 brake rotors also serves to keep your brakes clean by throwing off mud and dirt through centrifugal force. Preventative maintenance for your Audi S6 brake rotors involves keeping an eye on your brake pad linings. If your car uses metallic brake pads, or if the thickness of the lining becomes too low, the metal-on-metal scraping every time your car stops will damage your S6 brake rotors. For a longer life for your rotors, organic or "soft" brake pads are best. Also, you should monitor the thickness of the lining. Many cars come with brake pad sensors that will emit a high-pitched squealing noise when it is time to change the pads. This is an essential step in preserving your Audi S6 brake rotors.

Don't forget to order new brake pads as well; it is a good practice to change your brake pads every time you change your Audi S6 brake rotors.
